Changes to two ordinances were the topic of discussion at the Pottsville City Council meeting Monday night.

An ordinance prohibiting smoking and the use of tobacco products in city parks and ball facilities was updated to include any and all parks. Mayor Jerry Williams said the original ordinance listed only one park.

“We wanted to update it to make sure that it included all parks and ball fields,” he said.

A zoning ordinance was also updated to include provisions on swimming pools and non-functioning or abandoned vehicles.

In other business, property owned by William and Britanny Titsworth was rezoned from commercial to residential and three council members were approved to attend the Municipal League Conference later this year. John Heflin, Williams and City Attorney Jeff Phillips will attend.

A presentation from Beverly Bouer with Air Evac yielded a request for further study. Aldermen wanted more information on the program and to review the contract before agreeing to give citizens’ information to organizers.

“They voted to not do anything until they look at the contract,” Williams said. “We look at giving out people’s information as a privacy issue.”
